“…… Jiegong and Dinggong, the future battle between China and China is not a gentleman's battle between the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Navy, nor is it a single battle between the Chinese Army and the Chinese Army. It is a battle of life and death for two nations and two countries, and in order to win the war, I will inevitably do whatever it takes to do anything, so what do we have to scruple about? Is there anything you can't do? If we lose this war, we will be wiped out, and what could be more terrible? On the contrary, if we win, we will be a great power, the hegemon of East Asia, and we still need to be afraid of Britain and France? Therefore, in order to win this war, we should use unscrupulous means, any ruthless and poisonous moves, as long as they work. There is no need to think about the intervention of the great powers at all, we are not worried about the interference of the foreign powers in the first place of aggression, so what is there to worry about if we defeat them? ”

Luo Yaoguo was in his first-class cabin, pretending to be iron-blooded, brainwashing Chiang Kai-shek and Sa Zhenbing. On the side, there was also a royal sister with bright eyes and a shocked look on the side, and a Trotskyist pornographic spy who squinted and pretended to be sleepy.

"If we want the Chinese Navy and the Yuben Navy to come out and fight alone like the ancient knights, we will definitely not be able to defeat them. Not to mention building 150,000-ton warships, even building 300,000 tons may not work. However, if the Chinese navy were to be used to deal the heaviest blow to the empire, it would be a different matter. He said that his own country has many more weaknesses than his own navy. First of all, it is an island country with a narrow territory and poor resources. It could not have supported a long war on its own resources, and its weakness was the same as that of Britain in Europe at the time, and it was even more obvious. Therefore, the navy's idea of dealing with Yuben was to break the engagement, and use their trade routes and merchant ships as targets......

There are two routes for foreign trade, one is the trade between the Pacific and the Americas. The second is to trade with India, West Asia and Europe through the South Seas. Among them, the South China Sea and Indian Ocean routes are also the main channels for the import of raw materials, and this channel passes under our noses. Our submarines, camouflage ships, and shipwrecks can easily enter the South China Sea and shuttle between the islands in the South China Sea to attack the shipping routes......

Von of Germany in the Great War in Europe. Major Luknall once sank fourteen Allied merchant ships with a single sailing ship! It also dragged a large number of Allied fleets without a single casualty of its own. In the end, the sailing ship named **S Sea Eagle was wrecked due to a tsunami. Isn't such a sailing ship worth more than the two battleships that the Admiralty wants? Why should we build two battleships that can only hide in the harbor protected by shore-based batteries in wartime? And not to invest limited resources in more efficient submarines and attack ships? ”

In fact, the old men of the Admiralty also know these truths, but ...... Where is there such a thing as submarines and raid ships, where are battleships and heavy cruisers fun? When you are the captain of a submarine, where is the majesty of being the captain of a battleship?

Historically, Kaiser Wilhelm also spent countless financial and material resources to build the High Seas Fleet, and then he also had a beautiful time in Deland, well, and there was the German November Revolution of the sailors riot in the port of Kiel! Later, Hitler also spent a lot of marks on battleships, and this record is also not comparable to that of submarines.

"But...... If we take a break in the war against the Ben, will it cause Britain and the United States to intervene? At that time, Germany seemed to have provoked the United States because of submarine warfare. When Lao Jiang mentioned the great powers, his voice was always timid. Although it has been brainwashed just now, this brainwashing is obviously ineffective. How could a brain as stubborn as granite as Lao Jiang be so easy to wash?

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, it seems that this old Jiang is not a ruthless person at all. He refuses to do anything, and always has illusions about others, especially imperialism. No wonder it lost to Mao ZD in history! If you change to Mao ZD sitting opposite, you can accept any ruthless tricks and tricks he can accept.

"Jiegong, if we take 100 million to run a navy, and we want to build up to three battleships, we will definitely not be able to leave the port if we really fight. It's better not to do this, and it's better to save money and raise a few more divisions than this. But to replace it with a submarine at least fifty! Now the cost of medium-sized submarines of the great powers is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if the cost of building a large number of them can be reduced. If we have fifty submarines, hehe, I'm afraid we'll have to weigh it carefully if we want to go to war! With the escort capability of the navy, I am afraid that the 50 submarines will be able to paralyze half of their foreign trade, and when the time comes, they will be dragged down. Maybe Ben didn't dare to launch aggression and let us unify China? ”

Luo Yaoguo's idea was to strive to make the [***] Navy have at least 30 medium-sized submarines capable of ocean-going operations by September 18, 1931, and Germany only had 57 submarines at the outbreak of World War II in history, of which only 33 were suitable for ocean-going operations.

Hearing that it might deter war, Chiang Kai-shek sighed lightly, raised his head and smiled brightly: "This idea is exactly what I want, if we can avoid the conflict with the country, it will be beneficial to the country and the nation." It is also good for the people of China and the two countries! It seems that this submarine should be developed as a priority. Ding Gong, what is your opinion? ”

Sa Zhenbing glanced at Luo Yaoguo, and the smile on his face was a little stiff: "This submarine ...... Certainly good. But large surface ships can't be left untouched, right? My opinion is that large surface ships should work together with submarines, so it should be better, right? Is this okay? The Central Military Commission has allocated 100 million yuan for the construction of naval ships, 50 million for submarines, and 50 million for surface ships. ”

If there are 50 million, at least one battleship can be built, and it is still a bit of face as the flagship of the [***] Navy. It's better than a bunch of sneaky submarines, right?

"Brother Fuwen, what do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek's complexion was a little hesitant, 50 million yuan to build submarines, there should be more than 20, right? The rest of the building of some large warships, firstly, can win the hearts of the navy, and secondly, the second Northern Expedition can also be used to support the army's operations in the future. It's just that the deterrent effect on the book will probably be greatly reduced.

Luo Yaoguo pondered for a while, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay, but our shipbuilding industry can build light cruisers of two or three thousand tons at most now, and we can't build battleships at all." If it costs 50 million to build ships, I propose that in five years the focus should be on shallow water heavy gunboats and heavy cruisers. In order to build these two kinds of ships, the shipyards of our Ministry of Armaments will also have to invest a lot of money in technological transformation and import a large amount of machinery and equipment from foreign countries. It is estimated that it will be good to start construction within two years. Moreover, the cruiser we want to build should still focus on breaking the enemy, so its surname should be between a heavy cruiser and a light cruiser. It has a top speed of at least thirty-six knots, allowing it to escape with speed when encountering a heavy cruiser. It is also necessary to have a heavy cruiser's 203mm caliber heavy gun, which can defeat the light cruiser with firepower. ”

It's just that his own warships prefer to pursue high speeds, especially heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and their Miao-class heavy cruisers and Ball Mill-class light cruisers have a maximum speed of 35 to 36 knots. If you want to build a cruiser that can be used to break diplomatic relations, this technical difficulty is still very large. This time I went to Germany to see if we could reach technical cooperation, otherwise we would have to build light cruisers and shallow gunboats.
